Very strange. I guess we will never know what happened. Thanks for the update. MoKelly

Seemed like it but they missed 2. One was 60 yards.

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

You don’t need inflation to move very high. You need the Fed to stop it’s $120 billion per month bond buy back program. It is the single biggest factor keeping interest rates low. It’s also a major reason stocks are so very high on a valuation basis. As a fixed income investor, I’d like to see...

That is a great picture! Thanks for posting. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. Good luck. MoKelly

The biggest parking lot I can find is in Edmonton Canada and holds 20000 cars. MoKelly

I hope you are correct. I read the CEO of BWM says the chip shortage will last another 6-12 months. MoKelly

That really sucks. Sorry. MoKelly

Truth. I read the CEO of BMW says there will be no relief in the chip shortage for (in his estimate) the next 6-12 months. Not good. MoKelly

As the song goes “the view I love the best is my front porch looking in”! MoKelly

Funny you should post. Last week - for the first time in 3 years - we have had many honey bees all over the feeder. Never before. Doesn’t seem to bother the hummers. MoKelly

Good evening. Been busy last few days with our tennis tournament. Had an all day rainout on Saturday (our busiest day) so we had to quickly arrange indoor courts and went from 9am-11pm that day. Whew! Sunday and today were picture perfect days. Had all 18 courts going full time. In the end, I...

In Texas you need to determine: - is it open range or closed range. Each county can make its own rules. - if open range, the cattle owner has no responsibility to keep his cattle off your land. He doesn’t need a fence. You could put up a fence to keep his cattle out. That would be your...

Or how Russia became the Soviet Union. MoKelly

Agree. There are countries and borders for a reason. There are legal and illegal ways of acting. Those who want more can work or steal. Those who want in can proceed legally or sneak. It’s simple. Several countries want to destroy the US. They can’t militarily. They can from inside out...

Good morning. Today we need to have 2 things repaired: - treadmill stopped working. Has an error code saying a part went bad. Guy is coming to replace. - had a few shingles come off roof. Way high. No chance I can get up there - so, roofer should come today to replace. So, today I wait for...

Now that is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment!!![emoji23]

Huh? Duplicate social security numbers? I don’t think so. The SS website says they have issued 450 million unique numbers to date and can go several more generations without having to reuse old numbers from folks already deceased. MoKelly

Ha! You probably committed a few felonies along the way. I am fortunate, still have my old spouts from many years ago. MoKelly

I agree with you. Medical data breaches are bad news. Hopefully your insurance information wasn’t part of the data breach. If do, contact your insurance company to be aware of possible fraud claims. Good luck. MoKelly

Looks like the alarm circuit board was fried - just like the garage opener. The guy has a new board on the truck. $100. I guess if lightning hit close by I should be thankful only the alarm and garage opener were damaged. MoKelly

I think Elvis is on my list because my Mom was unhappy. She cried. My Mom didn’t cry in front of the kids very much so, when she did, it was impactful. I was in Baldwinsville NY on 911 and had to drive to STL. Never forget that day. MoKelly

Good morning. At the farm today waiting on a service call from alarm company. I think the same storm that took out the garage opener did something to the alarm. The alarm is not communicating back to the alarm company. I have no idea how to fix. So, I wait. Hope all in the path of Ida are...

Terrible. Hopefully the worst is behind you. Glad all people and animals are OK. Good luck. MoKelly

I was 9. I still remember that day and how terribly upset my Mom was after the news. I remember where I was vividly for 3 events that I was not personally involved — JFK, Elvis death and 911. MoKelly

My farmer neighbor has 300 acres he farms plus 100 acres he raises cattle. He took over from his Dad. Told me yesterday he’s retiring - he’s 68 years old. He is tired. His son is 45 and has been helping since a kid. So, he sees a very smooth transition. As we know, it’s hard and stressful...

Very nice. Pretty lake. We have a river as the property border but I can’t get a view from the house - too many trees.

When we sold our last house in the city (2019) we got many letters from potential buyers. BUT - that was after there was already a listing. I’ve never received letters on a house not listed for sale. That is sort of creepy. MoKelly

Die with memories - not dreams.

Lost a few $ on Nebraska/Illinois game today. I’m thinking the Nebraska coach is in hot water. Hopefully will make it up next week with Georgia/Clemson. MoKelly

Thank you. We are fortunate in that the land (1) is relatively level, (2) the trees are healthy but spaced out and (3) the farm land is well differentiated from the non-farm land. MoKelly

We mow about 8 acres at the farm. Takes about 6 hours total every other week most of the mowing season - every week in Spring when it grows faster with cooler temps and rain. My wife loves the ZTR. It’s her toy. I have to “settle” for the tractor.[emoji3] Between the 2 of us we can get it...

I heard this could be even bigger than Katrina. Stay safe everyone. I have a niece at LSU medical school in NO. Praying. MoKelly

I’m sorry. That is really sad. Looks like you’ve moved on and are doing well for yourself. Good luck. MoKelly

That’s a good picture. Could be used in a horror movie - as you get to the crest of the hill the bad guy appears. Ominous sky. Tree. House. The hay looks absolutely perfect. Nice copper color. MoKelly

At 11, I was playing shortstop on my Little League baseball team in Tampa that made it to the Little League WS in 1967. It was a thrilling year as the STL Cardinals won the WS in 7 games with Bob Gibson winning the last game. He was my most favorite player. We lived in Tampa then but my...

Here is a 1950 era picture of my wife’s Mother and her family. Well before my wife was born. Taken on a Sunday on their farm in NE Arkansas. I’ve always been intrigued by the picture. Looking at each person you can imagine their story. MoKelly

Winter wheat shouldn’t be planted until soil temp is below 80F (and will stay below 80F) and there is good moisture in the soil. It should be planted below the soil level but no more than 3” deep. Winter wheat needs .20-.25 inches of water per day. So, that’s roughly 1.5 inches per week. Don’t...

When my Mom passed, we were cleaning out some of her stuff. She had old high school books, reports and grades. She took a class as a senior called “How to be an ideal housewife”. You can imagine the chapters in the book - cooking, cleaning, making the beds, laundry, dressing, make-up and hair...

I listen to mostly Country from older CD’s my son somehow got into my phone and can then wirelessly go into headphones he bought. It is amazing how well it all works. Magic! Mostly Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Garth, Kenny and George Strait. But there are several more. If I’m really...

Thanks. Here in MO I’ve only seen one Bobcat. He was in the woods feeding on a rabbit. Amazing creature. MoKelly

Way too hot. We go in November and return in March. MoKelly

Yes - no dogs on the bed. Our kitty, however, does whatever he wants. MoKelly

Ok. I’ll ask. Is that a mountain lion? MoKelly

Thank you. He was a great companion. MoKelly

This was our dog for 16 years. He recently passed. His name was Lucky but we are the ones who were really lucky. MoKelly

Good question. When we purchased the little guy the seller told me it was his company’s “brand” —- a sort of starburst. He puts it on all his horses. Never saw that before but the horse is a sweetheart with kids and we’ve had him 6 years. MoKelly

Thanks. In Sept. I’ll give our place a call. MoKelly

My experience is: - agree who is best at each important task. - give the best person that task. - stay out of their way and let them do their task. Focus on your tasks. No back seat driving. - never pass up an opportunity to say “great job”. - always take mistakes and defeats as a team...

Thanks! You are kind. He is my wife’s cat but he won me over the first week she brought him home! Here is my favorite picture. He is a huge Mizzou Tigers fan!! By the way, he is an inside cat and the worst thing he has killed is his play toy! MoKelly

This is very very wise. I believe this 1000%. I’ve seen the opposite with some kids of friends who were given cars (that they abused and destroyed) and education (which was also abused and not taken seriously). MoKelly

Owning a tractor costs more than the purchase price. Maintenance and insurance and tires and attachments and stuff. The key to me is that you can get what you need (what you have been renting) for the $20000. If you can, I agree that you should buy. I also agree that you won’t take much of...

Fire extinguishers are smart. Very smart. I did the same. Last week I decided to check to see how old they were. The oldest 3 were bought in 2014! Seemed like 3 weeks ago I put them up. I tried them - 1 still sort of worked and the other 2 were duds. So - having extinguishers - smart. Not...

A friend of mine in high school took a typing class. We all made fun of him. He then started dating one of the cutest girls. Got to sit by her in typing class. He was a dog - but a clever dog. To this day he can’t type. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. I don’t know the answer but believe me someone here will! Good luck. MoKelly

Had not heard of this bug. Gee. Not good. I liked the part about what to do if you see them —- “kill them, squash them, smash them”! That’s a plan I guess.[emoji849] MoKelly

I had zero experience when I got my CUT. It didn’t take long. Just seat time and practice. It’s not rocket science. I had 2 boys go thru driving. The older took to it and passed immediately. He goes too fast however. The younger was horrible. I couldn’t take the stress. So, we got a driving...

Yikes! Do you really drive over rattlers? I’d still be too afraid! MoKelly

It’s worse than clueless. How can ANYONE who supposedly graduated 8th grade really not understand where food comes from? It’s an embarrassment to the entire education system. I used to think these were “wives tales” and no one really thought food came from grocery stores. But alas, there are...

I’d fire him over that performance if I was on the Board but - I’ve been with Berkshire for 25 years. I won’t post that chart but I’ll say it’s quite nice looking v. the passive indexes. I am quite the believer in passive indexes but Berkshire and Apple (which are much the same nowadays) have...

The Paris Climate Agreement looked at the issue on a per capita basis. As a result, it says the USA is still be baddest bad guy. So, China and the rest don’t believe they need to do as much as the USA. MoKelly

It’s one thing to name your tractor, it’s yet another to affix the name to the tractor like on boats. I’ve never seen an actual name on a tractor other than the manufacturer. So, I guess my tractors name is Bobcat! MoKelly

That is nice to hear. Thanks. MoKelly

A pretty good friend has a few Burger Kings in town. Not the greatest part of town. He said if he could (franchise agreement prohibits) he’d be 100% drive thru. Fewer employees, significantly less cleaning, no soda refills, less security issues, less utility costs. Like you said, sales and...

After all your work using a Bobcat, makes you really think about how the Pyramids were built all those years ago! MoKelly

Fantastic. The cap on FICA is much higher now than back then. When I started paying double it was 7.65% (x2) on the first $51300. Now I’m paying 6.2% (x2) on the first $142800. Been doing that since 1990. Can’t believe it but that’s been 30+ years. Time flies. MoKelly

Not that long. George Strait has beachfront property in Arizona. From his front porch he can see the sea. MoKelly

Does that include what the employer put into FICA on your behalf - or only what you paid? MoKelly

Well, I guess this is why Buffett is a billionaire. Not bad for a one year return. MoKelly

I hear you man. But - it’s not possible in my business. We have 25 high school/college age type jobs and 10 pro jobs. Fortunately we have enough hard working kids available. Pro level jobs - not do much. MoKelly

Exactly. It took me some time to figure this out. I have a Bobcat and the Bobcat symbol is in the middle of the steering wheel. When going straight, I noticed the symbol was sideways. Later it was upside down. Later it was perfect. Confused me until I discovered the reason. MoKelly

Most US manufacturing went overseas when the Corporate tax rate was 35% - which was one of the highest rates in the world. Tax rates are a big factor in addition to labor costs. Now the rate is 21% which is competitive. But - it takes time to relocate production PLUS you have to have faith...

Sorry. I guess my post was confusing. Hospitals here are not advertising folks to come to the ICU or even check into hospital beds. Rather, they want folks to see their doctors and get preventative tests. Also, the sad thing, is the stats are for “staffed” capacity. There are real differences...

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

In my area, the hospitals are all advertising to “come back” and have all those procedures done that were postponed due to COVID. Lots if talk about the dangers of not doing preventive care, screenings and cancer tests. Makes me think the hospitals do not have much of a wait. MoKelly

Good evening! Good day today. The garage door motor went perfect. The new circuit board went in as planned and it worked! So, I am back in business. The rain held off so I was able to get a head start on mowing. The only “problem” was I saw a dead owl in the field while mowing. Must have died...

Tough situation. Hopefully your grass has just gone dormant v. dying. Dormant grass needs very little water - 1/4-1/2 inches every month. You should typically stay off dormant grass. So, I would not mow. Give it the 1/4-1/2 inch of water and wait for rain! Good luck. MoKelly

You must not have much grass to mow. How would you spend $10-$11 grand? MoKelly

Received my garage door motor replacement part and headed to farm to see if it works. I’ve got the old board out and all wires marked. So, knock on wood, it should go fine. Famous last words eh! MoKelly

Local is gone. COVID lockdowns destroyed any chance they had to make a living. MoKelly

I can’t imagine what I would do if I was wondering my land and found some guy living in a shack by the river. We have a river. I guess there are some spots I haven’t necessarily scouted lately in the woods by the river. Guess I have something to do this weekend! MoKelly
